I have two forms for submitting a skill update request.
Form 1: Is the request form, it contains a datagridview binded by a datatable (not binded to the database)
Form 2: The skills form, contains a datagridview control binded to my database, it lists all the skills.
What I want to happen is go be able to click add on form 1, open form 2 select a skill there and then when I click ok, skill details are transferred to form1. I can do it only once. I want to be able to send multiple skills in one request so the previous data must not be erased, however it does not happen because Form 2 opens another instance of the form every time.
Form.Activate() and Form.Show and Form.Update does not work. Help?
Open form2 link in form 1 to open form with list of skills.
private void AddSkills_Btn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
AddSkill SkillsForm = new AddSkill();
SkillsForm.Show();
From form2 (after selecting which skill the user wants to request)
SkillUpdateRequest SUpdateReq = new SkillUpdateRequest();
SUpdateReq.FName_txt.Text = fname;
SUpdateReq.EmpID_Txt.Text = EmpID;
SUpdateReq.MName_Txt.Text = mname;
SUpdateReq.LName_Txt.Text = lname;
SUpdateReq.EmpInitials_Txt.Text = LoggedUser;
SUpdateReq.Position_Txt.Text = PositionName;
SUpdateReq.SkillID_Txt.Text = SkillID;
SUpdateReq.SkillName_Txt.Text = SkillName;
SUpdateReq.SkillDescription_Txt.Text = SkillDesc;
SUpdateReq.DateSubmitted_Txt.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString();
SUpdateReq.GetEmpID(EmpID);
SUpdateReq.Update();
this.Close();
